Why Scientists Misdated the City of Caral

For thousands of years, the pyramids of Caral were mistaken for natural hills in the Peruvian desert. This massive, ancient city remained silent until one archaeologist decided to look beneath the surface. We explore how Caral was hidden in plain sight and why it took so long for the world to recognize it as the oldest urban center in the Americas. You will learn about the sophisticated society that built these structures without using ceramics or metal tools. This discovery changed everything we thought we knew about early human civilizations. If you enjoy learning about forgotten history and the people who brought it back to light, this one is for you.
